Introduction
Party Poker is the online poker
website that really did start it all
back in the earlier part of the
decade. It was not the first online
poker site created nor is it the
largest one today, but it will
always occupy a special place in
history because it was the first
mass market popular online poker
website. Before Party Poker, online
poker was a fringe industry. After
Party Poker, it became a household
industry.
Software and Graphics
The software package that
is used today by Party Poker is the same
software package that it has been using
throughout the entire time of its
existence. It has been updated
frequently and the end result is that it
is an interesting mishmash of the old
school and the new school of online
poker software programming. The graphics
are decidedly old school and even
humorous in some areas, but the overall
functionality and resource efficiency is
ultramodern. Even though the graphics
are not as strong as some other online
poker websites, this software package
makes up for it in the other ways
mentioned above.
Poker Games
Party Poker does not have as much of a
gaming selection as the sites that are
larger than it, but you can still rely
on finding the big five variants (Texas
Hold ‘Em, Omaha, Omaha Hi/Lo, Seven Card
Stud and Seven Card Stud Hi/Lo)
available. Cash games and tournaments
are available for both play and real
money and you’ll find both available in
increments of just a few pennies all the
way up to hundreds of dollars per bet or
buy-in. As far as range is concerned,
Party Poker is definitely one of the
best online poker sites in the business.
Bonuses and Promotions
Party Poker has a signup bonus for new
players worth 100% up to $100. At the
same time, they have a new player zone
that will allow you to get acclimated to
life online before you are forced into
the cash games where the tough players
are. They also regularly offer reload
bonuses that you can accept and claim
while at the same time offering six
figure amounts in prize money in
freeroll tournaments. Be sure to check
it all out when you play online at Party
Poker because there is a lot for you to
enjoy.
USA Players
Ever since 2006 when the Unlawful
Internet Gambling Enforcement Act passed,
Party Poker has not allowed US players
